Progressive Suspension has focused exclusively on American V-twin suspension since 1982, and its Monotube fork cartridges and 400/970/970G shock series are among the most common upgrades on baggers and Softails. For most riders the stock rear shock is the single worst part on the bike — this is the fix.
The Progressive 944 Ultra Low QPS Shocks are engineered to deliver a superior ride and a slammed stance for your Harley-Davidson Touring model. Featuring patented Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), these shocks automatically adjust damping to road imperfections, ensuring a smooth and controlled experience. The Quik Preload System (QPS) allows for rapid, tool-free preload adjustments in under a minute, even with saddlebags installed.

The quick and easy preload adjustment means you can optimize your suspension on the fly, ensuring maximum comfort and control in any situation. Experience a transformation in your Harley's handling and enjoy a ride that's both exhilarating and remarkably smooth.

The shocks seem super nice, but they are incredibly stiff. Turns out they’re 130/200 top to bottom. Would be nice to have an option to choose your spring rate. Couldn’t find it in the description either. Have them installed on a 1998 sportster 1200 by the way. I’m about 180lbs and they don’t move at all, my friend who weighs about 260 also said they were way to firm. Hope this helps.
